Great Shredder...Definitely an upgrade!
We replaced a pretty "old" Fellowes shredder with this version and it is so much better. We are in an office of 7, but only about 3 of us use the shredder on a daily basis. It is quite and shreds very nicely. Would definitely recommend.

Does not last
This shredder started jamming and then slowly little pieces started to break off. I have half of the blades now and it can only shred on the right side. This is not a good experience with this shredder. This is not worth the price for how long it last and how quickly I began experiencing problem with it.

Worth the Extra $$
Only has been used a few times since I received it, however I am quite glad I spent the extra $$ for the micro-cut over the cross-cut, which I had last. It is quite a bit quieter, and seeing it cuts much smaller, you don't have to empty the bin as often, it probably holds twice as much as the cross-cut. So far very please with my purchase.

Choosing The Right Shredder
-
Cut Type
Shredders with a smaller cut size help keep your information more secure. The smaller the cut size, the higher the security level.
Strip-Cut - Basic Security
Cross-Cut - Higher Security
Micro-Cut - Superior Security
High-Security - Ultimate Security
-
Productivity
Shredder productivity goes beyond mere sheet capacity or speed. When shopping for a shredder, consider the machine’s throughput, or the efficiency in which it can get the job done. Throughput combines the three most critical features that contribute to a shredder’s performance:
Sheet Capacity x Speed (feet per minute) x Duty Cycle = Throughput -
Quality and Durability
Fellowes is committed to offer the most innovative solutions, exceptional product quality, and first class service and support. Our higher standards ensure you get a quality shredder.
